Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

Relâche Spa & Salon

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas.

We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

We created the original Five-Star rating system in 1958, when we were Mobil Travel Guide.

Five-StarThese are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.

Four-StarThese are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.

RecommendedThese are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.

Relâche Spa & Salon's European-inspired treatments provide you with a luxurious way to relax. Try the Muscle Melt massage if you are always on the go, or the Total Elegance Facial if you’re getting ready for a special night on the town.

The spa offers make-up services, maternity treatments and even treatments for the little ones (how about a Wiggle Worm Haircut or a Princess Pedicure?). From deep-cleansing and antioxidant facials to Thai and head, neck or shoulder massages, this spa has something to satisfy every need.

Our Inspector's Highlights

• The only problem you’ll have with the list of massages offered at Relâche Spa & Salon is choosing.

• You can have a classic massage (because why mess with a good thing) or try something new and different (because you’re in good hands). Either way, the Kissimmee respite will help you loosen up.

• As avid fans of hot stone treatments, we loved the Bamboo Massage, which is kind of like taking a rolling pin to your muscles.

• The spa’s Hydro-Therapy Treatment heals sore muscles using a water pressure wand and a variety of bath salts (you’ll need a bathing suit for this one).

• Crunched for time? The Back in a Minute is a quick 25 minutes, but it does the trick for those bothersome little pinches.

• Moms-to-be can also choose between two pre-natal massages: the Mellow Mama, an all-over rubdown, and the Free Your Mind, which targets the head, neck and shoulders.

• For something a bit different, we recommend trying the spa’s Lemongrass Ritual. The energizing treatment targets specific pressure points and uses a soothing heated herbal poultice and an aromatic lemongrass-infused herbal oil to loosen you up and increase lymphatic drainage.

• If you’ve been pounding the pavement at nearby Disney World or making the convention rounds, book the spa’s Sole Rejuvenation massage. The treatment involves a good scrub, massage and cooling gel to revive tired feet.

• Yoga fans will like the Thai massage. The bendy treatment takes place on a mat and has you stretching muscles you didn’t even know you had.
